On the basis of the features, the Checkbox recognizes:
– the parts type
– the orientation
– the observance of dimensions
– the quality.
Learning The nominal contour of a conveyed part type is ascertained
by a simple procedure.
1. Addressing
You select a memory location for the conveyed part type.
2. Scanning
You “show” the camera several samples of this conveyed
part type in the nominal orientation one after the other. If
necessary, you then scan the sample parts in further
orientations.
3. Saving
At the end of the teaching process, you save the features
of the parts type as the teach data under the memory
address set.
Checking Each conveyed part registered is compared with the saved
teach data and separated according to the different types.
The test parts are separated basically via three paths:
– Good parts are carried e.g. to an assembly plant.
– Incorrectly orientated parts are returned to the small
parts conveyor.
– Faulty or foreign parts are rejected.
The conveyor unit is fitted with at least two compressed air
nozzles which blow conveyed parts down from the belt at
certain positions. The remaining conveyed parts leave the
belt at the end.
